I get that its his job to report the news but...the mood that crowd was in, he should have packed up and moved to a more secure location. standing there and daring the crowd to come get him was beyond stupid. he's lucky he didn't get killed.

I fully agree. However it's said that we feel that way. It would be nice to have a counter protest and not worry about getting hurt.

Aren't reporters supposed to be impartial, to not get involved in either a protest or a counter-protest? If you move into a potentially violent crowd, and all protests have to potential to turn to violence, then you have to understand that you might get caught up in that violence. If you take an active part, like say pushing one of the protesters, then you have given up that veil of impartiality and are almost certain to get caught up.

Oh come on. One guy who got pushed to the ground got back up and threw a punch. And even that was played up for ratings/Republican agenda."Lucky he didn't get killed?" Please. This wasn't the farking L.A. riots. The guy was a shiat stirrer, stirring shiat, and he ended up getting the footage he wanted.

The fact a judge called bullshiat on Fox News' version of events is going to do next to nothing - it's like the retraction buried on page C17 (though Fox News won't actually do a retraction, obviously, and will probably still push the original story of their babe in the woods reporter being attacked by union thugs).

If you're a half-baked reporter with a conservative agenda, getting punched at a union protest is like an early Christmas present. The "union thug" should have gotten some mileage out of it and really kicked his ass.

I wouldn't be surprised if a smear campaign against the prosecutor starts making its' way around the derposphere.
